As he's risked his life for this country I think he's got a right to be miffed at not being able to vote on its future but he's been out for over 20 years now and should let it go. If he feels that strongly about this country he should come back and live here. A case of wanting your cake and eating it. But perhaps there should be a special concession for ex service personnel that have served in conflict.

I agree, the PTSD addled crazies shouldn't be allowed to vote in any election or referendum no matter where they live

If the 'addled crazies' weren't allowed to vote there'd only be a 5% turnout!
How Negative Interest Rates Will Turbocharge The Migrant Crisis.
In the 1989 Batman movie, the Joker (played by Jack Nicholson) showers a crowded Gotham street with free money.
In the scene, it looks like it’s raining hundred-dollar bills. The people love it. Little do they know, the money is actually a trap. Once the Joker has lured them into the street, he unleashes poisonous gas.
I think the latest gimmick to stimulate the economy is pretty much the same thing. It’s one of the most absurd ideas I’ve heard in a while. And that’s saying something, considering the outrageous schemes our economic luminaries have recently come up with, like…
Once European governments start handing every person thousands of dollars in free money each month (more than many in Africa make in a year), everyone will be scrambling for Europe.
A basic income is a sure recipe for economic disaster and increased cultural tensions. It’s an environment where blowhards and demagogues flourish. Unfortunately, this has happened repeatedly throughout Europe’s history. Once again, it’s going to lead to some very bad things.
I think a basic income will greatly accelerate this recurring trend.
Whether you call it free money, a basic income, or helicopter money, the idea is spreading. It’s the next potion the economic witch doctors will use once their latest scam—negative interest rates—not only fails to cure our economic ailments, but predictably makes them worse.

I'm an outer but on the subject of ex pats having a vote... No! You leave, you leave.
And that German you tube clip from that zdf show was actually very funny. Who knew the Germans had a sense of humour?

Ex pats in general are Brits working / living abroad and are still Brits, they still have to pay NI/Tax over here ( unless things have changed since my mates did it a while back ).

What? So Jack Nicholson is going to distribute £1000's in a helicopter? Bit like the Crystal Maze meets Treasure Hunt, sounds like great TV to me Mozza
